Associate Director - Quantity Surveying
Consultancy | Multi-sector | Leadership & Growth Role
London
I'm working with a well-established and highly respected consultancy that is looking to appoint an Associate Director Quantity Surveyor as part of a clear and considered growth plan.
This is not a "title inflation" role or a loose generalist position. The business is deliberately looking for someone with strong multi-sector experience who enjoys operating at the point where technical excellence, client leadership, and commercial decision-making intersect.
The Opportunity
You'll be joining a consultancy that has built its reputation on quality of service rather than volume of projects. The Associate Director role sits at the heart of project delivery and client strategy, with genuine influence over how work is won, delivered, and developed.
The project mix is varied and stimulating, typically spanning commercial, residential, mixed-use, and private healthcare, offering enough diversity to keep the work interesting without diluting your expertise.
What You'll Be Doing
Leading cost management services on complex projects from feasibility through to final account
Acting as a senior point of contact for key clients, shaping long-term relationships
Providing technical leadership and mentoring to surveyors and senior surveyors
Contributing to business development in a natural, credible way - not hard selling
Playing an active role in the direction and evolution of the consultancy
What They're Looking For
A Quantity Surveyor operating at Senior Associate or Associate Director level, or ready to step up
Proven multi-sector consultancy experience with a strong technical grounding
Commercially astute, with the confidence to advise clients at a senior level
MRICS (or working towards with a clear pathway)
Someone who values quality, autonomy, and professional integrity
Why This Role Stands Out
A genuine leadership position with visibility and influence
Clear progression that's based on merit and impact, not time served
A consultancy that trusts its senior people to shape how they work
Interesting projects, engaged clients, and a grown-up working culture
If you're an ambitious Quantity Surveyor who enjoys breadth of work but doesn't want to be a "generalist for the sake of it," this is a role worth exploring.
